Fall means cool weather, sweaters, and a whole new range of color possibilities for your garden. While your landscape prepares itself for the winter, this does not mean you have to sacrifice color! Fall perennials can give your garden some extra life and texture before the winter months. A cozy fall garden is easy to maintain with the help of perennials!

If part of your yard tends to get too much sunlight, this plant might be the perfect one to fill in that space (seriously, this plant thrives on neglect). That said, deer will munch on Sedum’s thick leaves, so keep this in mind when planning your fall garden.
